Many of my clients feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or the lingering impact of trauma. They may appear high-functioning but privately struggle with stress, emotional reactivity, or relationship patterns they want to change. Some feel disconnected or constantly on edge, while others experience tension or numbness they can’t explain. Many seek clarity, emotional stability, and deeper self-understanding. Multilingual and immigrant clients often want space to explore identity and trauma in the language that feels most authentic.
I provide trauma-focused, somatic therapy using Brainspotting, TIST, Somatic Coaching, EMDR-informed work, ACT, and mindfulness-based CBT. With 27+ years of experience, I help clients regulate emotions, process trauma safely, and build lasting resilience. I also offer therapy in Armenian, Russian, French, and German.
If you see yourself in these struggles, you’re not alone. Feeling overwhelmed or stuck is not a personal failure—it’s a sign your system has been trying to cope. I offer a grounded, compassionate space where your pace is respected and healing is possible. If you’re ready for meaningful change, I’m here to support you.
